Last week I posted a short statement about errors in Kergulen, and I just wanted to update saying that I've made a lot of progress fixing it. After much thought, I've decided I must have lost the good (final edit) file when I switched computers a while back. I was having lots of trouble with the old computer and might not have pulled everything over. So, later I added some contact info to the end of the book (but I added it to the wrong book file) and now I have contact info, but a less perfect story. It's a pain, but I'm so glad someone mentioned the problems when she did. She also found a continuity error that no one else seems to have noticed... but I'm not sharing that with you. If you want to guess, go ahead, but it's fixed and that's the end of that. The rest of the world will never know.So this week I've been editing Kergulen and writing Alonca's Quest, and I haven't been online much at all. So I'm short on blog posts and facebook keeps reminding me that I have 92 fans who haven't heard from me in a week, now, but I really have to concentrate on books or I'll fall behind over the holidays. So I'll share this post and the most recent interview (which I did last week or it wouldn't have gotten done) and call it a week.Next week we have we have holiday craziness and doctor's appointments, so I don't know if I'll post or not. In case I don't, I'll wish you happy holidays now.Happy Holidays!PS. If you want to make my season bright, share this blog and my books with friends and family. Subscribe

Thank you for the encouragement. I know it will be, but it's so frustrating because the original final draft was really excellent, at least as far as editing goes. Reviewers left comments about how good the editing was, and an English teacher asked me who the editor was because she was surprised at the quality (way to go, beta readers!). I don't know if I'll be able to reproduce that, but I'll try. I feel a little better because this draft is still better than most of the Indie stuff I come across, but I feel bad because as a perfectionist I have to cringe every time I find another crazy comma or period and think about how many people have suffered through them (or decided not to).
